What is Zinc?

Zinc is an essential trace mineral, meaning that the body needs it to function correctly, yet it cannot naturally produce it, like it can with some other natural ingredients. This means that it must get its zinc via whole foods or via supplements instead. it has been proven to play a number of crucial roles within the human body, including for facilitating enzyme activity which is responsible for ensuring the immune system remains healthy and active. It can also play a key role in protein synthesis, and in the healing and repairing of injuries and ailments. Zinc can be found naturally in a whole variety of different foods, including: oysters, red meat, pork, cashew nuts, and other forms of shell fish. To make zinc intake even easier however, you can also purchase zinc supplements, so there really is no excuse for not reaching your daily intake goals and requirements.

How does it work?

As zinc plays a part in so many different internal processes within the human body, it can be difficult to describe exactly how it functions, because basically it functions in so many different ways. In terms of boosting the immune system, zinc is beneficial as it functions by assisting with the production of T-cells, which are cells that are responsible for fighting and preventing infection. T-cells can fight and destroy bacteria and infection before it sets in, making zinc very important indeed. However, that is simply scratching the surface in terms of how beneficial this mineral really is. It also functions by assisting with the production of testosterone and other hormones. Testosterone is the dominant male sexual health hormone responsible for muscle mass, strength, size, and function. It also plays a key role in libido, and in sperm quality and mobility as well. Zinc therefore, is a fantastic sexual health supplement that can also assist with muscle growth as well, making it a firm favourite amongst bodybuilders. What’s more, zinc has also been found to help to strengthen the heart following damage, making it useful for people who have previously suffered from a heart attack.

What are the benefits of using Zinc supplements?

Some of the primary benefits associated with zinc supplements include the following:

Muscle growth

As mentioned, zinc not only plays a key role in protein synthesis, which is when the body synthesizes new muscle proteins, but on top of that, it also helps to increase hormone production, including testosterone. Testosterone plays a key role in muscle growth and repair, so the more natural testosterone you have, the easier you will find it to build muscle.

Improved sex life

Another key benefit associated with zinc is the fact that it has also been found to help improve a person’s sexual health and function, in a variety of different ways. To begin with, zinc has been found to increase testosterone, which is responsible for libido and sperm quality in men. Oysters are considered an aphrodisiac because of their zinc content. Not only can it improve your sex drive and sex life, it can also help to improve the quality of your sperm as well, making it useful for people looking to conceive.

Can ease menstruation symptoms

It isn’t just men that can benefit from zinc supplementation however, as it has also been found that zinc can help to ease symptoms associated with menstruation in women. This is because it regulates progesterone secretion, which, in high dosages, has been linked to more severe cases of PMS.

Other benefits include:

  • Improved immunity
  • Increased testosterone levels
  • More energy
  • Improved athletic ability
  • Increased libido
  • Can help fight illness and disease
  • Can promote prostate health in men
  • Eases menstruation symptoms
  • Promotes a healthy pregnancy
  • And more...
